Once upon a moment,
Not so far from this mortal coil
A tale for the telling
Thrown into the arena...

The wishing well
The wish
The guessing game
In the distance,
Children
Rags in trees
The old fool
A life lived
Here  
In a moment frozen...

She lies dying,
The truth on her lips
Those red ruby coloured lips
The words tumbling in a motion slow
It all seemed so much easier
The not knowing
